Jancis Robinson Knihy

Kniha, bez níž se milovník vína neobejde, chce-li opravdu vychutnat tento ušlechtilý mok a docenit všechny jeho půvaby. Výmluvný je už fakt, že v angličtině vyšla v pěti vydáních. Čtenáře nejdříve zasvěceně, poutavě a nanejvýš přehledně uvádí do osobitého světa vína, jeho dotváření a kultivování, a poté na téměř 300 stranách vlastního atlasu představuje světové vinařské oblasti a jejich plody ­ od vinařských velmocí typu Francie až po vysloveně "menšinová" vína. Všechna však hodná pozornosti znalce.

Víno patří mezi nejpopulárnější alkoholické nápoje na světě. Mnozí laici a milovníci vína se snaží rozpoznávat různé druhy vín, chutě, barvy, či odrůdy, ale někdy si opravdu nevědí rady. Chodí proto na různé kurzy, degustace a snaží se přijít na kloub tomu, co dělá dobré víno dobrým vínem. Je to klima? Odrůda? Um a zkušenost vinaře?

"An indispensable book for every wine lover, from some of the world's greatest experts. Where do wine grapes come from and how are they related to each other? What is the historical background of each grape variety? Where are they grown? What sort of wines do they make and, most importantly, what do they taste like? Using the most cutting-edge DNA analysis and detailing almost 1,400 distinct grape varieties, as well as myriad correct (and highlighting almost as many incorrect) synonyms, this particularly beautiful book includes revelatory grape family trees, and a rich variety of illustrations from Viala and Vermorel's seminal ampelography with century-old illustrations. Combining Jancis Robinson's world view, nose for good writing and good wines with Julia Harding's expertise and attention to detail plus Dr Vouillamoz's unique level of scholarship, Wine Grapes offers essential and original information in greater depth and breadth than has ever been available before.
